The Clos Vougeot in 2009 was another wine that had an extremely late malolactic fermentation this year, and consequently we tasted this at the end of the extraordinary range of reds listed above. This is a superb bottle of Clos Vougeot in the making, but following hard on the heels of the ’09 Musigny is not the most propitious placement in the lineup. The nose offers up a deep and very promising blend of black cherries, black raspberries, cocoa, woodsmoke, game and complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite structured, with a fine core of fruit, ripe, substantial tannins, fine balance and excellent length and grip on the finish. A fine bottle.
